The Story of Us by Tara Sivec • FMR REVIEW

BLURB:

How much can a man take before he breaks?

1,843 days. That's how long I survived in that hellhole. They tried to break me, but I resisted. And I owe it all to the memory of warm summer nights, the scent of peaches, and the one woman who loved me more than I ever deserved to be loved. Now, I'll do anything to get back to her.

Only Shelby Eubanks isn't the girl I left behind all those years ago. She's someone else, a stranger. My Shelby-my little green-eyed firecracker-would never give up her dreams, would never disappear into her mother's ambitions. But I won't give up on her. On us. I may be broken, and scarred, and not the man I used to be, but I will do whatever it takes to remind her of the story of us.

I have no words! I went into this book expecting an emotional read, but I was not expecting THAT! The Story of Us is a fantatic, second chance romance with a twist...and another twist, and another twist.

From the very beginning I was sucked into this story and was completely captivated by it. It was sweet, funny, and heartbreaking and all those wonderful things that make a story A-MAZ-ING!!! The story was well written and had a good pace. There were several times where my jaw dropped and I thought to myself, "did that just happen?". I wasn't expecting all those twists to the story.

I was a little skeptical about Eli and his situation and how he was handling everything that was thrown at him but by the end of the story, it all made sense. And Shelby, she had her own secrets and story to tell. Throw them both together, it made for one heck of a story!

If you are looking for a story that will take your breath away, THIS IS IT! Read it! I don't think you will be disappointed!
